What did the most popular supermodels like Cara Delevingne, Gisele Bündchen, Cindy Crawford and other beauties look like back in the day? View the gallery.
Supermodels on social networks they like to show their appearance from their childhood and teenage years, when many of them have already ventured in front of the cameras and on the catwalks. Today's Highest Paid Supermodel, Gisele Bundchen, who earns more than 30 million dollars every year, started this journey at the tender age of 14.
The road to the top for supermodels was not easy
But the rise to the top was by no means easy for supermodels. Tyro Banks, the first black model to grace a magazine cover Sports Illustrated, were rejected by many fashion agencies at the age of 17, when she was starting her fashion career. "I already had a black model and I don't want another one," one of the agents told her. One of the agencies even assessed her appearance as too "ethnic". Which did not stop her from becoming one of the most successful and recognizable supermodels and television personalities.
